haiti fundraiser 2

the sky is falling,
death is calling,
as weather is drawing
a chalk line around an island of impoverished,
but we,
the international community
can do something,
one thing
is better than no thing,
we can bring awareness
to the careless casualness
of lives untouched by destruction all around us,
we can donate and discuss,
we can make a fuss with those who represent us,
we can thrust
ourselves directly into the fight
to save a nation from the dying of its light,
we must rage against silence, that is our fight,
to not let these people slip into the night,
if it was us in their shoes we'd hope and we'd pray
for help to rebuild and a way to pay
back the assistance once laid at our feet,
don't ignore how this plays if the shoes switched feet
and we walked a mile with our nation in piles
of debris every where the eye could see,
misery for our elders, babies, you and me,
we can be who we would pray for,
we may not be saviors
but we can't walk away
without trying to help them survive one more day,
it matters not what deity to whom you pray,
or if you believe in that sort of thing anyway,
it matters not if you're red, green, blue, or gray,
your party affiliation holds no bit of sway,
what matters is what you do with your today,
how you help your fellow man,
how you did display your compassion,
for some it lights the way to brighter days
